The Garden Backpacker Reviews

WONDERFUL accommodations! very nice rooms, amazing receptionists, free SANGRIA!!! totally recommend :)

The Garden Backpacker is a wonderful hostel. The staff could not have been more helpful in every way. The kitchen and self-service breakfast are a tremendous help to travelers as well as the social nights and walking tours they have offered to create community among travelers. We had lots of needs from directions to an early morning departure. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms and facilities are cleaned several times throughout the day.

The best way to explain this hostel.....simply amazing!!!! Best hostel I have stayed at. The staff is so helpful and really go out of their way to make your stay in Sevilla the best possible. Take advantage of the walking tours the hostel offers, i did all of them and they were really informative. Super chill atmosphere, and with the free sangria every night you meet everyone staying there. Great option for the solo traveler! Simply put, STAY AT THIS PLACE if they have a room avaliable!

Staff was wonderful: friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The rooms and facilities were very clean and spacious. I didn't attend any of the sangria/tapas or pub crawls but I heard the events ranged from ok to pretty fun. The hostel is pretty centrally located in terms of the major transportation stations and is near several bars and tapa places for some late night food.

The Garden was great! I loved the free sangria at night and the people staying there were really nice and a lot of fun! I'm travelling alone, so it was really great to meet people at the hostel! I met cool people from all over the world, we went out to bars and got montaditos together! The staff was all really friendly, Claudia greeted me and Felipo took me on a walking tour that was really awesome! Chell took us on a nightlife tour that was fun, as well.

Absolutely loved the Garden hostel, perfect example of what makes a good hostel - great chilled-out atmosphere, plus friendly and helpful staff. We sampled a few of the tours that left from the hostel and enjoyed all of them, plus appreciated the cheap drinks in the garden bar (Hermano's mojito was delicious!) - and the crepe mix that was left out for breakfast on a couple of mornings for you to make your own was a really nice touch!

staffs are more than warm. Nice place

Stayed here twice in May.Reception staff (Claudia&Valentina) were absolutely fabulous. Always happy and full of great info.I did the city day tour with Medi. It was fun and interesting if not a little too long.1 night i went on the Bar Crawl. And like all Pub Crawls in Spain organized by the hostel you end up in bad bars with absolutely no spanish people. its a good night but we were told we would end up in El Casino or El Caramelo but ended up in an empty bar in Triana.no nos engañen

Valentina and other staff made me feel very welcome, and I enjoyed the ambience at the Garden Packpacker. Especially memorable was the walking tour led by the vivacious Anna her story-telling ability is unparalleled. Last but not least, the paella and tapas prepared by the hostel were delicious.

Loved the Bar! Happy hour and cheap beer made for an easy start to every night!!!! Keep up the great work!

My friends and I had a lovely stay. I have already recommended it to a friend!

The cutest place with the most helpful staff. Would recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE!

The hostel was happy that you stayed with them,knew your name helpful and friendly. This is unlike any other hostel I have ever stayed in!

The best hostel I\'ve ever been. The staff are very nice and patient, they gave us a lot of good suggestions, like restaurant and shows. The garden and bar are great, every evening we had alcohol there with very cheap price, so amazing. Highly recommended.

Amazing hostel! So glad I stayed here!

possibly my favorite hostel. easy to walk to anywhere in the city, free walking tours were awesome (esp. Brian and Anja) free sangria and cheap dinners made it so easy to meet people. clean and comfortable. the terrace and and garden were really nice in the evening to relax in after walking through the city all day.

Very nice hostel, big rooms, awsome and helpful staff, heaps of activities to do and the paella nite was fantastic, very yummy, would definetly reccommend!!!

Good location. Some drawbacks are that the room did not have external windows and that the toilette had an internal window towards reception. Great staff.

I stayed in two hostels in Sevilla and this one was hands down my fave. The staff were out of control amazing, they gave me a great map and information that the staff at my next hostel were not able to replicate and that I used for the rest of my stay. Everything was clean, they have free no-hassle wifi and a room with four computers for your use, a great kitchen, tours, and free sangria 'till 930. They even have a little board where they write your name and welcome you to the hostel!

Excellent hostel- colorful, fun, and felt homey... The staff was happy and helpful and the events they had for the patrons were very nice for first time visitors to Sevilla. Highly reccomended
